Never let anyone tell us to move on!

WE HAVE COMMITED THEIR SOULS 
TO THEIR CREATOR,
BUT WE WILL NEVER
FORGET!

I won't be in blogland this weekend. I will be remembering,  this loss, with my family and thanking God for their presence in my life.

    9-11 and the memory of all the precious lives lost will be in our collective memories forever, like some of the other tragic events that have shaped our generation. We've lived through some challenging and tragic times.

    Dearest Ginger,

    Lovely tribute! Indeed we should honor all those victims.
    We will be celebrating a special birthday of an 8 year old boy here in Germany...

    Love to you,

    Thank you. I've been weeping all weekend, and I'm standing on God's promise that He will take a curse and somehow turn it into a blessing. I trust Him when He teaches that He will comfort us, and in turn, use us to comfort others. Cherry Kay
